As Astros blogger Crawfish Boxes points out, the general consensus about the Atlanta-Houston series is that the Astros should win going away. We understand this, somewhat — we begrudgingly picked the Astros to make the World Series, after all — but it seems awfully lopsided, considering the Braves have a better record, a better lineup and some pitchers who ain't so shabby. This is likely because people are so used to the Braves dropping out of the playoffs early that it's become an involuntary reflex to pick them to lose.
